To make the exit menu entry in Openbox 3's root menu to run ROX-Session substitute in /home/username/.config/openbox/menu.xml the following code:
<item label="Exit"> <action name="Exit" /> </item>
with
<item label="Exit">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
rox /path/to/ROX-Session/Appdir
</execute>
</action>
</item>
Finally click on reconfigure in the Openbox's root menu to make Openbox to reread the configuration.
You may notice some changed behavior when using Fluxbox, TWM or the other *boxes. from an email to the rox-users list
What you most likely need to do is:
1. Go into the ROX Options dialog.
2. Select the Compatibility item to raise the Compatibility dialog.
3. Select one or more of the following items:
a. Override window manager control of the pinboard and panels. This
most likely won't affect any of the behaviours you see.
b. Pass all backdrop mouse clicks to window manager. This should
give
you your root menu back, at the cost of having the ROX context
menu on a right click (I find that to be a trivial cost,
really).
c. Blackbox root menus hack. I wrote this for version 0.65 of
blackbox -- it enabled scrolling through workspaces, and fixed a
few other things as well (I can't remember very well at this
point
-- it was almost two years ago; for a fuller description, look
through the changelog for my name).
The *box window managers' interaction with ROX has, in my experience,
always been a bit buggy; most are still working on proper NETWM
support
(I hear, however, that OpenBox2 does fairly well with ROX). Until such
support is complete, ROX will continue to have these compatibility
options to help smooth the transition.

You can still access the fluxbox menu by right clicking on the tab of any window. If you configure flux to be "tabless" then right click the top of any window>tab
Apparently TWM is unable to display an entire menu if it is larger than the screen. You can open Rox-filer and navigate to /usr/apps/ROX-Session/AppRun. This should allow you to change your WM. Launching AppRun from cli in TWM only caused the terminal window to close.
